Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of popcorn equipment technology, specifically to a self-service vending machine that integrates air-explosion and sugar coating. Background Technology

[0002] Popcorn, a popular traditional snack, enjoys widespread market demand in cinemas, amusement parks, shopping malls, and many other places, and its market size continues to expand. Currently, most popcorn vending machines on the market use traditional methods, primarily relying on a wok with oil and sugar to pop the kernels at high temperatures. However, this traditional oil-frying method has gradually revealed some significant drawbacks over time.

[0003] During the popcorn-making process, to effectively prevent the popcorn from burning due to uneven heating and to ensure that each kernel is heated evenly and achieves the desired popping effect, a large amount of oil is used to completely submerge the kernels. However, this method directly results in popcorn with excessively high calories. In today's society, people are increasingly concerned about healthy eating, and low-sugar, low-fat, and low-calorie foods are becoming more and more popular with consumers. High-calorie popcorn clearly runs counter to this healthy eating trend, causing some health-conscious consumers to hesitate when choosing popcorn, thus limiting the further expansion of the popcorn market to some extent.

[0004] Given the numerous problems with traditional oil-fried popcorn vending machines, it is urgent to develop a new type of popcorn equipment. Utility Model Content

[0042] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0043] This invention provides a self-service vending machine that integrates air-explosion and sugar coating, which solves the problem of how to automatically make low-calorie popcorn.

[0044] See Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the self-service vending machine with integrated air-explosion sugar coating, as shown in the embodiment. Figure 3 The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of the production container and the sugar-coating mixing device in the embodiment. The self-service vending machine with integrated air-explosion sugar coating includes a frame 1, a production container 2, a corn feeding device 3, a corn air-explosion device 4, a syrup conveying device 5, a sugar-coating mixing device 6, and a feeding device 7.

[0045] The production container 2 is mounted on the frame 1 by means of screwing or welding. The production container 2 has a bursting chamber 21 and a sugar coating chamber 22 that are connected to each other. The production container 2 also has a discharge port 23 that is connected to the sugar coating chamber 22.

[0046] Both the corn feeding device 3 and the corn puffing device 4 are mounted on the frame 1 and connected to the popping chamber 21. The corn feeding device 3 is used to feed corn kernels into the popping chamber 21. The corn puffing device 4 is used to puff the corn kernels in the popping chamber 21 into popcorn and transport the popcorn to the sugar coating chamber 22.

[0047] The syrup conveying device 5 is mounted on the frame 1 and communicates with the coating chamber 22. The syrup conveying device 5 is used to feed syrup into the coating chamber 22.

[0048] The sugar-coating stirring device 6 is installed on the frame 1 and is used to perform air-blast stirring of the corn popcorn and syrup in the sugar-coating chamber 22.

[0049] The feeding device 7 is installed on the frame 1 and is used to open or close the discharge port 23.

[0050] When using the above-described self-service vending machine with integrated popcorn popping and sugar coating, firstly, the feeding device 7 closes the outlet 23, while the corn feeding device 3 feeds corn kernels into the popping chamber 21; then, the corn popping device 4 puffs all the corn kernels in the popping chamber 21 into popcorn, and then conveys the popcorn to the sugar coating chamber 22; next, the syrup conveying device 5 feeds syrup into the sugar coating chamber 22, while the sugar coating stirring device 6 performs air-explosive stirring of the popcorn and syrup in the sugar coating chamber 22, so that each kernel of popcorn is coated with a layer of sugar; finally, the feeding device 7 opens the outlet 23, and the finished popcorn is output from the outlet 23 to the production container 2. From the above usage process, it can be seen that this utility model has the following advantages:

[0051] 1) This utility model can automatically complete the entire process of popcorn production from raw material input to finished product output, realizing self-service popcorn production and sales. Compared with the existing oil-frying method, this utility model uses air explosion to make the corn kernels expand and burst rapidly in an oil-free environment, thereby effectively reducing the calories of popcorn and producing low-calorie popcorn, which meets consumers' demand for healthy snacks and helps to expand the market consumer group of popcorn.

[0052] 2) This utility model also uses a gas explosion stirring method to coat the popcorn with sugar. The hot airflow generated by the gas explosion not only ensures that the syrup entering the sugar coating chamber 22 is always in a uniform melting state, but also improves the stirring effect during the sugar coating process, so that the syrup and popcorn are fully mixed, thereby ensuring that each popcorn is evenly coated with a layer of sugar, improving the sugar coating effect and further enhancing the market competitiveness of the product.

[0053] See Figure 1 As shown, the self-service vending machine with integrated air-exploding and sugar coating provided by this utility model can also include various devices such as a popcorn bucket supply device 8 and a cleaning device 9, which work together with the above-mentioned devices to realize self-service production and sale of popcorn.

[0054] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is a perspective view of the frame, production container, corn feeding device, corn popping device, syrup conveying device, sugar coating stirring device, and feeding device in one embodiment. In one implementation of the syrup conveying device 5, the syrup conveying device 5 includes at least two sugar tanks 51 and a sugar extraction pump 52. The production container 2 is also equipped with a sugar extraction pipe 24 communicating with the sugar coating chamber 22. The at least two sugar tanks 51 are used to hold syrups of different sweetness levels. Both the sugar tanks 51 and the sugar extraction pump 52 are mounted on the frame 1 by screwing or welding. The input end of the sugar extraction pump 52 is connected to the sugar tank 51, and the output end of the sugar extraction pump 52 is connected to the sugar extraction pipe 24. Thus, this vending machine can produce and sell popcorn of different sweetness levels to meet consumers' demands for different sweetness levels.

[0055] The sugar extraction pump 52 mentioned above can use a peristaltic pump or other conveying mechanism.

[0056] In addition to the above-described embodiments, the syrup conveying device 5 can also be replaced by other flavoring ingredient conveying devices. Its function is not limited to conveying syrup, but can also be used to convey other flavoring ingredients (such as honey, chocolate liquid, etc.) so that the self-service vending machine with integrated popcorn and sugar coating can produce and sell popcorn of different flavors to meet consumers' needs for different flavors.

[0057] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment of the sugar-coating stirring device 6, the sugar-coating stirring device 6 includes a first gas explosion generator 61, an air inlet pipe 62, a stirring rod 63, and a stirring drive mechanism 64. The air inlet pipe 62 is fixed to the production container 2 by welding or integral connection. The outlet end of the air inlet pipe 62 is located inside and communicates with the sugar coating chamber 22, while the inlet end of the air inlet pipe 62 is located outside the production container 2 and communicates with the first gas explosion generator 61. The first gas explosion generator 61 is fixed to the frame 1 by screwing or welding and is used to supply hot air to the air inlet pipe 62. The production container 2 is equipped with an exhaust pipe 25, through which the hot air input into the production container 2 by the corn gas explosion device 4 and the sugar-coating stirring device 6 can be discharged from the production container 2. The stirring rod 63 passes through the air inlet pipe 62 and is rotatably connected to the air inlet pipe 62. The bottom end of the stirring rod 63 is located inside the sugar coating chamber 22 and is equipped with a stirring support 65. The top of the stirring rod 63 is located outside the production container 2 and is connected to the stirring drive mechanism 64. The stirring drive mechanism 64 is mounted on the frame 1 by means of screwing or welding and is used to drive the stirring rod 63 to rotate. Thus, when the sugar coating stirring device 6 is in use, the stirring drive mechanism 64 drives the stirring rod 63 to rotate, which in turn drives the stirring support 65 to rotate, thereby stirring and mixing the popcorn and syrup in the sugar coating chamber 22. At the same time, the first gas burst generator 61 generates a hot airflow, which is introduced into the sugar coating chamber 22 through the air inlet pipe 62, which can help the stirring support 65 to fully mix the popcorn and syrup in the sugar coating chamber 22 and further improve the sugar coating effect.

[0058] The aforementioned first gas explosion generator 61 can use existing gas flow explosion equipment. The aforementioned stirring drive mechanism 64 can use existing rotary motors or other rotary drive mechanisms, and its output end is connected to the top of the stirring rod 63 by means of screwing or welding.

[0059] The top of the stirring rod 63 and the air inlet pipe 62 need to be sealed by sealing rings or other sealing components to prevent the hot air supplied by the first gas generator 61 to the air inlet pipe 62 from leaking out of the production container 2 and affecting the sugar coating effect of the sugar coating stirring device 6.

[0060] See Figure 3As shown, in one embodiment of the air inlet pipe 62, at least two air holes 621 are provided on the air inlet pipe 62. Each air hole 621 is located inside the sugar coating cavity 22 and is arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the air inlet pipe 62. In this way, the air holes 621 at different heights can output multiple layers of hot airflow within the sugar coating cavity 22, making the corn kernels and syrup mix more evenly and thoroughly, thereby further improving the sugar coating effect.

[0061] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment of the corn popping device 4, the bottom end of the popping chamber 21 has an air inlet 26, and the inner wall of the popping chamber 21 has an outlet 27 for communicating with the sugar-coating chamber 22. The outlet 27 is higher than the air inlet 26. The corn popping device 4 includes a second popping generator 41 communicating with the air inlet 26. The second popping generator 41 is used to supply hot air to the popping chamber 21 to puff the corn kernels in the popping chamber 21 into popcorn, and send the popcorn into the outlet 27. It can be seen that the hot air input into the popping chamber 21 by the second popping generator 41 through the air inlet 26 can be blown upward out of the outlet 27, thereby realizing the expansion and popping of the corn kernels, and sending the popcorn from the outlet 27 into the sugar-coating chamber 22 for sugar coating; since there is a certain height difference between the outlet 27 and the air inlet 26, it can effectively prevent the corn kernels in the popping chamber 21 that have not yet expanded and popped from being blown out of the outlet 27 by the hot air.

[0062] The aforementioned second gas explosion generator 41 can use existing gas flow explosion equipment.

[0063] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment of the feeding device 7, the feeding device 7 includes a cover plate 71 and a cover plate driving mechanism 72. The cover plate 71 is rotatably connected to the frame 1 and is positioned opposite to the discharge port 23. The cover plate driving mechanism 72 is mounted on the frame 1 by means of screwing or welding and is drively connected to the cover plate 71. The cover plate driving mechanism 72 is used to drive the cover plate 71 to rotate toward or away from the cover plate 71 to open or close the discharge port 23. Thus, the feeding device 7 can automatically open or automatically close the discharge port 23 through the cooperation of the cover plate 71 and the cover plate driving mechanism 72.

[0064] See Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment of the cover plate driving mechanism 72, the cover plate driving mechanism 72 includes a rocker arm 721 and a telescopic driving member 722. One end of the rocker arm 721 is fixedly connected to the rotating side of the cover plate 71 by means of screwing or welding, and the other side of the rocker arm 721 has a sliding groove 7211. The telescopic driving member 722 is mounted on the frame 1 by means of screwing or welding, and the output end of the telescopic driving member 722 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 7211. Thus, when the telescopic driving member 722 extends or retracts, the sliding connection structure with the sliding groove 7211 can drive the rocker arm 721 to swing, thereby causing the cover plate 71 to flip, realizing the automatic opening or automatic closing of the discharge port 23.

[0065] The aforementioned telescopic drive component 722 can use existing telescopic mechanisms such as telescopic cylinders or telescopic poles.

[0066] In addition to the above-described embodiments, the cover plate drive mechanism 72 can also use a rotary drive mechanism such as a rotary motor or a rotary cylinder to drive the cover plate 71 to flip.

[0067] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment of the corn feeding device 3, the corn feeding device 3 includes a funnel 31, a feeding block 32, and a feeding drive mechanism 33. The funnel 31 is fixed to the frame 1 by means of screwing or welding. The frame 1 includes a base plate 11, and the feeding block 32 is slidably connected to the base plate 11. The feeding block 32 has a receiving channel 321. The feeding drive mechanism 33 is provided on the frame 1 by means of screwing or welding and is drively connected to the feeding block 32. The feeding drive mechanism 33 is used to drive the feeding block 32 to slide back and forth between a first position and a second position. The top of the bursting chamber 21 has a feed inlet 28. Wherein, when the feeding block 32 is in the first position, the upper opening of the receiving channel 321 is opposite to and communicates with the output end of the funnel 31, and the base plate 11 blocks the lower opening of the receiving channel 321. When the feeding block 32 is in the second position, the upper opening of the receiving channel 321 is completely offset from the output end of the funnel 31, and the lower opening of the receiving channel 321 is opposite to and connected to the feed inlet 28. It can be seen that when the feeding block 32 is in the first position, the corn kernels in the funnel 31 can fall into the receiving channel 321 through the upper opening. However, when the feeding block 32 is in the second position, it stops the corn kernels in the funnel 31 from falling into the receiving channel 321, while the corn kernels in the receiving channel 321 can fall into the bursting chamber 21 through the lower opening. Therefore, the corn feeding device 3, by driving the feeding block 32 to slide back and forth between the first and second positions via the feeding drive mechanism 33, can automatically feed the corn kernels.

[0068] The aforementioned feeding drive mechanism 33 can use existing linear drive mechanisms such as telescopic cylinders or telescopic poles, and its output end is connected to the feeding block 32 by means of screwing or welding.

[0069] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
